Answer:

Option E, They all adsorb at the same rate

Step-by-step explanation:

The following properties of bio-material surface influence the intake of proteins, ions, and other metallic and non-metallic ion or molecule.

a) geometric - the surface area of substrate makes an impact while interacting with proteins. Those surface areas that have grooves or pores provide greater surface area for interaction

b) chemical - chemical composition of functional species determine whether they will interact with with biomolecules or not

c) electrical - Like wise ionized surface of bio material prefer charged substrate for interaction

Thus, bio-material will absorb all the bio- material at the same based on the type of bio-material and the substrate.

Hence, option E is correct
